    Two large military heavy-lift helicopters are on a dusty unpaved landing zone with rotors spinning, suggesting they are preparing for takeoff or have just landed. Orange marker cones are visible on the ground around the aircraft. At least one additional helicopter is visible in the hazy background.

    U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion's assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 (HMH-361) and Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 461 (HMH-461) land for a static refuel during Weapons and Tactics Instructor course (WTI 2-16) at Landing Zone Bull, Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range, Calif., March 26, 2016. This training evolution is part of WTI 2-16, a seven week training event, hosted by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) cadre, which emphasizes operational integration of the six functions of Marine Corps aviation in support of a Marine Air Ground Task Force. MAWTS-1 provides standardized advanced tactical training and certification of unit instructor qualifications to support Marine Aviation Training and Readiness and assists in developing and employing aviation weapons and tactics.

    Three military personnel in tan/khaki flight suits are working together outdoors in an arid, desert-like environment. They appear to be setting up or inspecting equipment that includes a metal frame structure, hoses, and a red fire extinguisher. One individual is wearing a flight helmet with a visor, suggesting aviation-related operations.
    A military service member in desert MARPAT camouflage uniform is crouching on rocky desert terrain, setting up or adjusting a tripod-mounted piece of equipment. The device mounted on the tripod is labeled 'MAWS201M' and appears to be a meteorological or sensor instrument. The setting appears to be an arid desert training environment with mountains visible in the background.
    A U.S. Marine in desert MARPAT camouflage uniform is handling what appears to be a meteorological or weather measurement instrument, likely an anemometer, in an arid desert environment. The soldier is wearing tactical sunglasses pushed up on his forehead and has a rank insignia visible on his collar. The setting appears to be a desert training area with sparse vegetation and mountains visible in the background.
    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are closely inspecting and working on a meteorological sensor station. The equipment includes a radiation shield housing a temperature/humidity sensor (labeled 'HMP155' visible on the unit) mounted on a tripod-style stand with an antenna. The setting appears to be an arid, outdoor environment under clear blue skies.
    Two large military helicopters are operating in a desert environment, either landing or taking off simultaneously, generating significant dust clouds. The aircraft appear to be CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopters based on their size, rotor configuration, and gray military paint scheme. The arid, rocky terrain and brownout conditions suggest a training exercise or tactical operation.
    Two large military heavy-lift helicopters are on a dusty unpaved landing zone with rotors spinning, suggesting they are preparing for takeoff or have just landed. Orange marker cones are visible on the ground around the aircraft. At least one additional helicopter is visible in the hazy background.
    A military helicopter, likely a CH-53 or similar heavy-lift variant, is shown in close-up with two crew members visible. One crew member wearing a flight helmet and desert-tan flight suit is leaning out of an open side window labeled 'RESCUE'. A second crew member is partially visible through the cockpit windscreen on the left side.
    Multiple large military helicopters are parked on a gravel surface in an arid desert environment. The foreground helicopter, marked with the number '16', appears to be a CH-53E Super Stallion, with ground crew personnel conducting maintenance or pre-flight checks. Additional helicopters of the same type are visible in the background along with military vehicles.
    Military ground crew personnel are conducting a hot refueling operation on a large military helicopter in an arid desert environment. At least three ground crew members wearing tan flight suits and purple helmets with goggles are managing fuel hoses and safety lines around the aircraft. A pilot or crew member is visible in the cockpit, suggesting the helicopter's engines may still be running during the refueling procedure.
    Two military personnel in tan/khaki flight suits and helmets are positioned beneath a large military helicopter on a desert airstrip. They appear to be inspecting or servicing a mounted weapon system, likely an M134 minigun or similar crew-served weapon attached to the underside of the aircraft. The arid, scrub-brush terrain in the background suggests a desert training or operational environment.
